The new atheism

God,
Science, and Reason is an appeal to reason from a Christian perspective. Michael Bunner shows how the new atheists fail to evaluate evidence with an unbiased approach, but assume the absence of the supernatural through scientific naturalism and philosophical materialism.
The book is a good resource for Christian youth and their parents who are
concerned that their sons or daughters might lose their faith when attending
college. More...

Answers for atheists

Sociopaths & God

I received an email from Adam, an agnostic psychology undergraduate, who
asked whether the existence of people who cannot tell right from wrong might
provide an argument against the existence of God. Why would God create an
individual who couldn't distinguish good from evil and then condemn him
because of that condition? The syndrome that describes this disorder used to be called sociopathy, although it is now referred to as "antisocial personality
disorder" (ASPD). People with this disorder are defined by the American Psychological Association as
exhibiting
"a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of
others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into
adulthood." Are these people "born this way"? More...

Iniquities of the fathers

I got an email from a fellow molecular biologist/Christian who asked a
question about the Bible verse in which God
says He would visit, "the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and
the fourth generations." The verse in question is actually part of the ten
commandments, so it must be pretty important in God's eyes. However, doesn't it seem rather severe to punish
innocent great
grandchildren because their great grandfather committed some sin? Skeptics say
that this verse shows that God is not fair. More...

Biblical creation

Craters on the moon

There are many large craters on the moon, which
can even be seen with an average pair of binoculars. Young earth
creationists say most of those craters happened during the flood. Is this what
the Bible and science say? What about the cratering event that destroyed
the dinosaurs and 75% of all species on earth? The presence of craters
is actually one of the easier to understand arguments against young earth
creation "science" and one of the most powerful refutations of young earth
Bible interpretation. More...

Adam with Eve?

I received an email from Claretta who thought that my teaching regarding
Satan was in error when I said, "We
don't know where Adam was at the time of Satan's temptation".
What had seemed obvious to me—that Adam was
AWOL at the time Satan approached her—wasn't convincing to Claretta. She pointed out that
Genesis 3:6 says, "...she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her
husband, who was with her, and he ate it" (emphasis added). If one
only
reads that part of the story, it would seem like an open and shut case that Adam was
with her the whole time. However...

Called vs. chosen

A fellow believer wrote me asking why few are chosen (for
salvation/heaven) when
many are called. When people are called by God, we usually expect them to
respond to the call and begin the process leading to
salvation. The puzzling phrase,
"For many are called, but few are chosen" comes in the conclusion of
Jesus' parable of the wedding feast. What was Jesus referring to when he
made this statement? More...

Those are the most recent updates and changes since the last e-mail
update. "...O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your
creatures...when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust. When you send your Spirit, they are
created, and you renew the face of the earth." (Psalms 104:24-30)
